Living in the moment trying to forget my past
Body built of glass crack and shatter me fast
See a vivid image but it would never last
Process my progression let it lead and make me a path
Far away from home I just don't know what I should do
See the perfect person can't expect it to be you
Stay down and stay loyal lastly hope you will stay true
Don't let them block your mind make up your mind and make a move
See the gate to freedom as I close it gate gets farther
Taught me to work harder I was taught that by my father
Shoulders got lil broader and I stood a little taller
Build to be a man so must stand on shit regardless

I'm a diamond forged under the pressure
Ask if I'm going to let up always yelling back at them never
Things got personal vendetta against life
Stick to the agenda I promise I tried
Never claimed that I was flawless
Only claimed to keep it honest
Can't be shaky no maraca
Bars like alcoholic
Fade out with the chronic then I'm running to the gold resembling sonic
Stay cold yet spit heat now ain't that shit real ironic

So where do you go
When your on your own
Got lost on the road
Will you take me home

Been stuck on the rise
Not ready to fall
If I hit your line
Just answer the call

Been numbed by the cold
Still living in snow
Stay down and don't fold
That better be known

Get high to get by
But still feeling low
A promise to I
Don't let yourself go

Putting more trust within myself and my own character
Manifestation I can break through the smooth barrier
More bars than Verizon Im going to need a new carrier
Ring upon the game might as well say I'm going to marry her

Look back at where you started and realize how far you came
They don't need to understand as long as you spit flame
Never leave the game man
Please don't ever change man
Sade don't play it safe
Sade you better stay the same
